Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the safety and effectiveness of unidirectional barbed suture in transabdominal preperitoneal prosthetic (TAPP).

Methods

From April 2014 to April 2017, sixty-seven inguinal hernia patients were treated with TAPP in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College, with 32 undergoing inbarbed suture (inbarbed suture group), and the other 35 patients with traditional suture (traditional suture group). The suture time, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay and complications of two groups were compared.

Results

All the 67 patients underwent operations successfully, with no one converting to open surgery and without perioperative complications. There were no statistical differences between the two groups in terms of preoperative general data, intraoperative blood loss, complications and hospital stay. The suture time and operation time of inbarbed suture group was (6.72±2.80) min and (63.00±5.44) min, which was significantly shorter than (15.04±1.19) min and (78.18±6.44) min of the traditional suture group, with statistically significant difference (t=10.372, 15.572, both P<0.01). All patients were under ultrasonic examination 1 to 3 months after discharging from hospital. No patient had recurrent inguinal hernia.

Conclusion

Unidirectional barbed suture can reduce the difficulty of laparoscopic suturing, and shorten the operation time and learning curve, which is worthy of clinical application in TAPP.
